I tried to come up with even a vaguely plausible explanation for why looking at a bottle of apple juice and a bottle of orange juice made him think of the girls. But I’ve got nothing… ---

> **Caught up to Chapter 39 today!** > > Finally caught up with the chapter and there were a few expressions I really liked in here, in addition to just words. I decided to compare it with the Polish translation after I was finished and I was surprised by how similar the expressions were, like tit-for-tat translations for the context. For example, when thinking about a barrier, Land said that 塵すら通さない, and I was like “I wonder how would they translate it” - and they just did “not even a grain of sand would be able to get through”, and I was like “damn” xdd > > Similar for 全員に喧嘩を売ること, I was a bit hesitant to trust the translator for this to be “fighting against all of them”, but the Polish translation is “the rest of the teams will jump to our throats”, so I’m finally feeling like I’m learning actually useful wordplay in Japanese and not just word-for-word translations xddd > > But the absolute favorite quote of the chapter is “算段がある” (counting is there?), according to the Polish localization, “they’ve thought of a plan” ^^ > > Either way, the design of ラヴィーネ really grows on me, I like her action poses, fun chapter ^^ ---

Looks like most spells won’t have a German equivalent, and there are numerous spells in this volume. I am looking at [here](https://frieren.fandom.com/wiki/Spells#List_of_Spells) for English spelling. (spoiler ofc) Still, it would be nice to have a sense of reasoning behind the names. (Waiting for Week 8 or somewhere for big question dumps.) ---

> **Chapter 41** > > Good chapter. We’ve seen Fern battling bad guys now and again over the volumes, but this felt very cool watching her in a one on one battle to the death with another 魔法使い. エーレ didn’t seem very likeable, I was happy to see her demise.

> [@Micki](#): > > It was an interesting final attack where Fern sent those hexagon like things as attack magic, and エーレ was squeezed on all sides until she couldn’t resist any more. This is clearer in the anime, but it’s less that Fern uses her defensive barriers as squashers and more that her sheer rate of firepower is so overwhelming that Ehre can’t help but get boxed in by her own defensive barriers. ---

Well, Fern’s party of three was attacked by another party so it was a more complex fight, but Fern seemed to end up in a one on one battle with エーレ. She was being attacked with lethal magic and defending herself with equal intensity, until she overcame and killed her opponent. Or at least it looked like she died. Maybe she was just temporarily turned into bottle of orange juice… ---

From the fact that last time I saw someone be hit by Fern’s spells, a hole in their torso blew up. 😁 ![1000047534](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/e/8/2/e827fcd2ca1251acf4ab0a7ec74e3e0a2ab7c482.jpeg) Not to mention we have already been told that people can- and is somewhat expected to-die during the test.

I mean, Fern just killing someone would be hard to justify, specially due to their apparent difference in power, it’d be punching down (magicking down?) ---
